Thanks so much for the help. _hash_first, and _hash_next all take the scan object as a parameter. How do you create or get a scan object? hashbeginscan looks like it sets up a scan and returns it, but it takes the number of keys and the array of scan keys. Where do we get these arguments from?

No, hashbeginscan doesn't do much at all except initialize state. The
interesting stuff happens during successive hashgettuple calls ---
specifically _hash_first the first time and _hash_next on later calls.
